PHILADELPHIA (CBS) Girard Brasserie and Bruncherie, at Girard Avenue and Marlborough Street in Fishtown, is still under construction, but its getting more attention than your typical restaurant opening due to its no tipping model.
That means theyll be paying all staff members a living wage plus fringe benefits.
How can they afford that? The hard and fast answer to that is the owners make a lot less money, says co-owner Cristian Mora.
Those who attended a job fair for the restaurant say Moras business model is quite attractive.
Benefits, paid days, sick days, thats wonderful! Thats every workers dream! says server Sean Lynch, 21.
Server Alexa Koch, 26, agrees:
I hope it would catch on because its better to make a living wage instead of not knowing if youre able to make a living wage and pay water, etc.
